Key findings:
- Securitising other types of intervention, such as development programming, by conflating them with P/CVE could undermine their purpose while failing to achieve P/CVE objectives.
- Integrated interventions can help mitigate harmful outcomes and increase the efficacy of P/CVE programmes.
- Identifying intervention target groups should be guided by evidence-based risk and protective factors rather than assumptions when designing programmes.
- Those in the wider social environments of ‘at-risk’ individuals are often well placed to identify signs of radicalisation and warning behaviours, but it should not be assumed that they are always able to spot or will report such concerns.
- Relatability and access to target populations should guide decisions on who to involve and support in P/CVE programme implementation.
- The process of engaging in P/CVE interventions and the trust built between intervention providers and participants play an important role in the impact an intervention can have on participants.
